Cigna Introduces Ginger, a Virtual Behavioral Health Provider

Woman at work

The world is grappling with a mental health crisis exacerbated by the pandemic, and as demand has grown in the United States (U.S.) for mental health care and services, supply has struggled to keep up. To help meet the growing need, Cigna continues to expand the behavioral health services available to its customers. That’s why we added Ginger’s1 behavioral health coaching services to our behavioral health provider network in the U.S.

Early access to behavioral health coaching is designed to prevent the onset of more serious mental health conditions before they occur. Coaches take an active, goal-oriented approach to address a wide array of mental health issues, ranging from stress and depression to sleep problems and relationship challenges. They are trained to identify the need for higher-level care, and can help connect people to therapy or psychiatry services when needed, supporting customers through their entire care journey with Ginger.

Through their behavioral health benefits in the U.S., customers enrolled in employer-sponsored health plans can connect with a behavioral health coach as well as access Ginger’s robust library of self-guided content and skill-building activities through a smartphone app. For individuals who need higher levels of care, a therapist or psychiatrist can be added to their care team for video-based sessions. Cigna is the first carrier to bring Ginger’s coaching services in-network, allowing customers to access behavioral health coach support via their benefits. All of these virtual services are available through Cigna's outpatient behavioral health coverage, subject to benefit plan cost share. Ginger is also available in Spanish.
